Public Meeting Slated to Discuss Proposed Electronic Signage

The tax deadline is May 2.

Proposed location of signage.

(Michelle Pinon/Photo)

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Mundare residents will have the opportunity to provide input on the location of an electronic message sign that is being proposed during an upcoming public meeting.

In light of some opposition to the proposed location at the south end of Main Street at the traffic circle, members of town council felt a public meeting should be held so residents could weigh in on the matter.

Two-thirds of the funding, ($50,000) has been supplied through the National Hall Association, which sold its facility about a year ago. President Robert Widynowski said they are in the process-

ing of dispersing funds from the sale of the hall and it was suggested that part of the proceeds should go towards the Town of Mundare.

Widynowski said they felt an electronic sign would be a good project, and would allow the Town of Mundare and other community groups to inform the public about events, programs, services taking place in town.

The portion the Town of Mundare would pay is $25,000. Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla said the funds would come from reserves.

The company the National Hall Association recommended to the town for the project is Digital Edge Media. The company is based in Sherwood Park.

Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser – Opinion

I only see them when we have them in the “Kids Zone” in the News Advertiser, but people of a certain age, like me, will remember the books with the side-by-side pictures. Readers were urged to compare the two images and find the differences.

At first glance, everything looks the same. However, after closer inspection the differences become clear.

When it comes to government, we are given to believe that all citizens are considered equals. However, in practice… after closer inspection we see that there are differences. It is not uncommon to see certain areas getting funding, companies being hired or government projects based on how the population voted. We observed this with various scandals over the Liberal time in power. In 2004, AdScam came to light and in more recent time there was the SNC Lavalin scandal as well as the WE Charity scandal.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the Albertahating Liberal government would green light a major petroleum project in the East after years of stifling development in the West.

On April 6, Canada’s current environmental crusader-in-

chief, Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault formally approved the Bay du Nord offshore megaproject. A suspect move to say the least considering all the restrictions placed on western Canadian development along with increasingly aggressive GHG reduction targets. I should mention that these increased measures including higher carbon taxes continue despite Canada missing EVERY self-imposed target for reductions.

The $12 billion project, to be located approximately 500 km from Newfoundland and Labrador will be very beneficial to the province. Norwegian oil company Equinor will develop the oil field which will consist of a floating facility to produce, store and load ships from. It will involve drilling one kilometer underwater and produce up to 200,000 barrels per day. It is expected to go live as early as 2028.

Compare that to the 200,000 barrels per day which Alberta has stated they can ramp up quickly in an effort to ease the pressure created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Unfortunately, getting that oil to market is the challenge.

On the same day, (April 6) the Canadian government also gave notice to Calgary-based Suncor Energy regarding the environmental impact of a proposed expansion to its oil sands development in Fort McMurray. The letter penned by the same Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault stated that in his opinion, the expansion project “may not align with the pace and scale of emissions reductions” and “would hinder Canada’s international commitments.”

Becoming skilled in speaking out of both sides of his mouth, Guilbeault also stated that the Bay du Nord project “is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.”

Unlike western oil which clearly is so different from oil drilled out of the Atlantic that it required oil tanker bans as well as the killing of the Northern Gateway and the Energy East Pipeline projects.

This is not a knock of any sort on Newfoundland and Labrador or their ongoing energy sector development. I am in full support of the project. We are living in a world that is only increasing its demand for oil. Canada is an oil producing nation. It makes sense to responsibly develop our resources.

The alternative is for the EU and other buyers to meet their demands from authoritarian states like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Russia. Additionally, Germany, China and even Ontario have seen the effects of hap-hazard moves away from fossil fuels.

When it comes to development in Canada’s energy sector, we should not be surprised that one of these things is not like the other. After all, one of these things IS located in Alberta.

Construction Ratchets Up at Wind Farm near Mannville that we will receive it.”

Village of Mannville Mayor Rex Smith is hoping for a positive economic impact to area businesses during the construction phase of the project as construction crews patronize local businesses and potentially rent housing in Mannville.

“After the construction portion of the project is completed, it’s possible that operational or maintenance workers may reside in Mannville which has economic spin-offs to business,” added Smith.

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Pennecon Needs You. That’s the heading of a notice posted on the bulletin board outside the Mannville post office. The company, which is constructing the Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Farm seven kilometres south of the community, is currently looking for: flagging jobs, labourers, concrete workers and finishers.

Pennecon’s services and projects in heavy civil, industrial, service, maintenance, and marine is throughout Canada.

It is the contractor for the developer Wild Run Partnership North America in partnership with Enel Alberta Wind Inc. Enel representative Matt Epting said the project team is extremely busy right now, but hopes to be able to share more details about the project and future plans in the coming months.

The project is located in the County of Minburn. County council signed off on a development agreement about a month ago. According to the agreement, “The

project is expected to pay $30-$40 million in property taxes over its anticipated life.”

Reeve Roger Konieczny said the project was proposed and licensed by the Alberta Utilities Commission, (AUC) about 12 years ago. But it never materialized. Enel bought the project rights in about 2019 and they’ve been engaging with the County since then.

“Enel commenced civil construction activities on private land in fall of 2021.

Full-scale construction is due to begin this month,” stated Konieczny.

Accordingly, several county roads will have to be upgraded. Enel’s estimates, which have been confirmed by County engineers, call for around $4.5 million is upgrades. The county will hold 50 percent of this amount in security should repairs and upgrades not be done in a satisfactory manner.

“There is some long-term employment on the turbine maintenance side, but the vast majority of jobs will be short term over the construction and reclamation phases. Environmental concerns were

considered in the AUC permitting process. The county is not aware of any identified issues,” noted Konieczny.

The anticipated lifespan of the project is between 20 and 30 years. “The construction phase will only last until the end of 2022, with some reclamation activities occurring in 2023,” noted Konieczny.

He said the County doesn’t anticipate any expansion of the project. As far as tax revenue to the municipality, “We do anticipate a significant tax contribution from the project, but council will not consider that income until we are sure

90 Years Ago – April 20, 1932

One hundred and twenty-five of the local and district Masons assembled in the Masonic hall last Monday, April 4th, for the purpose of celebrating the 25th anniversary of the local Masonic Lodge.

Plans for placing livestock on every prairie farmstead have received the unqualified approval of Hon. Robert Weir, minister of agriculture in a communication received by the Dominion Agricultural Credit Company. “I have always felt that every farm in the west should have enough livestock, cattle, pigs and poultry, to be self-sustaining,” says the minister.

“We are also encouraging the growing of shelter belts to enclose say ten or twenty acres, as a protection for livestock. A thick shelter belt around a small trench or reservoir for water supply should make it possible for any farmer to handle stock in this way.”

Fire gutted the home of George Kutash on Saturday night at Shandro. The occupants escaped in their night attire after a successful effort in removing Mrs. Ukrainetz, his invalid mother-in-law, from the burning house. The home and furnishings are a total loss.

75 Years Ago – April 23, 1947

Early in May the Provincial Department of Health, in co-operation with the Alberta Tuberculosis Association, are planning on bringing their new mobile X-Ray trailer to serve the residents of all the territory from Bruderheim to Vermilion and Myrnam to Andrew. It is expected that this survey will occupy about three months and an opportunity will be given to every resident in these areas covered to have a chest X-Ray without charge and competent diagnosis by qualified practitioners in the Department of Health.

Paul Mahumko, who has been conducting a men’s wear, tailoring, cleaning and pressing business on first Avenue East for the past two years, announces he had disposed of his stock-in-trade, pressing and cleaning equipment, the real estate holdings to Mr. S. F. Predy. Mr. Mahumko will remain with the firm in the capacity of tailor. The business will be called Dandy Cleaners and Tailors.

Mr. Arnold Saik has bought the draying business in Innisfree from former owner Mr. F. Gibbons.

Floods in Western Canada have taken five lives, and the usually dry southern Alberta, the southern route of the Trans-Canada highway at Barnwell, 30 miles from Lethbridge, became a raging river, submerging fields and forcing families to flee. When the water hit the C.P.R. line, 100 feet of track were washed out.

50 Years Ago – April 20, 1972

On the occasion of his departure from Vegreville this week, Oscar Tunis was presented a small memento from the Rotary Club of Vegreville. Mr. Tunis is a charter member of the club, one of three who are still alive. On behalf of the club Bill Gehring, also a charter member presented Oscar with the memento.

The Grade Three Students in Room 5, Queen Elizabeth School, have put forth a commendable effort on their Red Cross Project this term. Each child learned to knit under the patient direction of Mrs. J. Reidlinger. They have knit a colorful afghan, in which each child contributed a knitted square, In addition to this, they have four bulging health kits including soap, wash cloth, towel, sewing kits, tooth brushes and paste, and other numerous articles of use; a collection of used stamp and coupons to send to the Red Cross.

Members of the M. Domahanow Community Society at Moscow Hall marked the fiftieth year of their organization at the hall on Saturday with many of the original members present augmenting the crowd of several hundred. In his opening remarks the genial master of ceremonies, Peter Budinski, suggested that if only the hall could talk the gathering could hear a lot of stories of the good times and serous meetings held in its fifty year history.

25 Years Ago – April 22, 1997

Lena Karylchuk was chosen Vegreville’s Volunteer of the Year Monday night at the Social Centre. Chamber of Commerce president Dan Beaudette presented Karylchuk with the award.

The town and county have burned their differences and some up with a new landfill fee agreement. The two-year agreement takes effect immediately and was hammered out following a meeting between the two councils. Under the agreement, the County of Minburn will pay the town $14,000 per year to cover the cost of county residents using the landfill for domestic garbage.

The town of Vegreville hopes to have a new emergency services building up and running by Year’s end. “Hopefully, we’ll be operating out of there by the end of 1997,” said Mayor Dave Kucheraway.

“We’re planning to award the tender by May and probably by midJuly, you’ll be able t see something start going up there.” The town already owns the property and services are already there.

Western Canada Continues to be Shafted by Trudeau Roslyn Kunin Troy Media Columnist

We all know politics is the art of the possible.

Perfection isn’t for the real world. We aren’t surprised when trade-offs and the occasional compromise creep into government policies.

Nor do we require elected members of government, even at the ministerial level, to be experts in their portfolio areas, although we expect them to avail themselves of such expertise as needed.

Nevertheless, Canadians have every right to expect at least some degree of consistency within and between government proclamations, policies and practices, and a high degree of fairness in their administration.

One area that’s both important and prominent can’t avoid at least some compromises. That’s the tradeoff between energy and the environment.

On the one hand, we could ignore the environmental issues, continue producing and consuming large amounts of cheap, carbon-based energy, and avoid considering the major negative impacts this could have.

Or we could put the environment first and immediately start banning the use of carbon-based fuels.

The longer-term environmental effects would be positive. But the short-term impact on the economy, industry and individuals could be devastating.

Britain and China learned just that when they tried to eliminate coal-generated electricity before having alternative energy sources in place.

Neither of these two extreme scenarios is viable. At least for now, a solution will have to be found somewhere

in between that’s seen as consistent and fair.

The federal government has been concentrating on reducing the production and use of carbon-based energy, especially in Western Canada. This has often taken the form of putting roadblocks up to inhibit the development, production, transport and export of oil and gas.

This comes at a cost to Alberta – the primary producer – and to all actual and potential energy users. Many bristled at Canada’s oil sands being called dirty when its production is cleaner and safer than just about any other oil produced anywhere.

They’re frustrated by the lack of infrastructure, such as sufficient pipelines and liquefaction plants for natural gas. And they’re puzzled by limitations on oil tankers on the West Coast but not elsewhere.

Still, these actions have been accepted as a price to be paid for long-run environmental improvement.

Then came the thunderbolt.

The federal government has approved a $12-billion deep water oil project, Bay du Nord, off Newfoundland and Labrador. Apparently, merely moving oil in tankers is far too environmentally dangerous in the Pacific. But drilling for and producing 200,000 or more barrels of oil per day and then moving it from the site poses no dangers in the Atlantic. We’re assured that all the environmental impacts will be handled.

That ignores, of course, the impacts that occur when that oil is actually used.

Environmental experts like Christopher Bataille at Simon Fraser University say that we should use new technologies and building methods to reduce our demand for carbon-based energy, not produce more.

The claim that the war in Ukraine increases the

Busy Times Ahead for Vegreville Vipers Hockey Club and Slovakia.

“Then of course we will be back prepping for the new season, freshening up our dressing room, preparing some of the new exciting equipment, as well as getting a 4th jersey for Breast Awareness month, which will be sold during and after the last home game of that month.

I’m also the President of the Canadian/American Jr A hockey League, called the CAJHL. We have lots of exciting additions to our league. We will be announcing more teams soon, we should have a minimum of 12 next season, and a lot more to follow.

Our season will begin a lot earlier, beginning of August will be our start, with training camp mid-August, followed by league play in mid -September, so our league will be done before the end of March.”

Brown said the team will be doing helping different groups out this summer in its community service role. “I want to run a fun golf tournament this summer for players, guests, and sponsors to help raise money for the team as well.”

Playoff action. (Burden Photography/Submitted Photo)

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser There’s never a dull moment for Vegreville Vipers General Manager Bryan Brown.

He took over the coaching reigns the last month of the season which helped the team leading into the playoffs that were held April 7 and 8.

“We, of course, planned on winning the Champions Cup. We had a great chance; we held the Cold Lake Aeros to a 2-2 tie and missed two great scoring chances at the end of the second period hitting a cross bar.” That happened again at the beginning of the third period hitting the post, and missing a good scoring chance with a 3 on 1, but came up with no goal. Then with 12 mins in the third period Cold Lake scored a goal, and again at 8 mins left, taking the sail out of our team, and causing them to get

away from the game plan.

It happens, but all in all, I’m very proud of the Vipers, for there season, and play off run, and look out next year, we already have some new signings from the Ukraine, and some returns from this year.

We will be a year older, and a year wiser.

The season went pretty well, for our inaugural season, finishing third behind some veteran teams is a good start. I never like to lose, and will definitely will be working on that.

We are planning a spring prospects camp on April 22-24 if we have enough attendance, there are lots of other camps at the same time, so its difficult to say as of right now.

Brown said he will be attending four different show case camps in Calgary, Med Hat, Edmonton and BC. He will also be scouting at camps in Finland

Producers Workshop - CONTINUED from Front PAGE upcoming plans for its 45,000 square foot decortication processing facility in Bruderheim.

CRHC’s proprietary “Long-Fiber Decortication Line” is expected to be commissioned in May, 2022 with the second line being commissioned later this summer. Both lines have a processing capacity of 4 – 4.5 tonnes of hemp feedstock per hour.

By fall 2022, CRHC will employ 75 employees. Currently, we have 21 employees. The head office is anticipated to open in late 2022. It will be constructed using hempcrete made from hurd grown by local Alberta farmers and processed by CRHC. CRHC is contracting 10 – 15,000 acres of hemp in the 2022 growing season. We are still signing contracts for the 2022 growing season. Farmers growing hemp on contract for CRHC take care of seeding and spraying the crop, CRHC completed all in-crop scouting, harvest, baling, hauling and delivery to the decortication facility.

Parsons said hemp is a “really viable crop option” and a good way for producers to diversify their grain operations. “Hemp grows extremely well in Alberta, but until now there were no

you’ll be able to read your insurance policy so you can make some informed decisions,” said Bouck.

She touched on the importance of having a broker that understands the specific needs of producers. With 40 years of experience, Bouck said she prides herself on making on-farm visits and customizing a policy which is tailored to their particular needs.

Bouck’s focus of the presentation was to illustrate what to look for in a complete program by reviewing an existing farm insurance policy. She reviewed all of the terminology, types of coverage, limitations, liability, perils, payouts and valuation on property, equipment, crops and livestock.

“Your operations, inventory and assets are all subject to change year over year, and it is a great risk management practice to meet at a minimum to review your program.” She also recommended having a professional building appraisal/loss control.

“Once this is completed you have the best defense against an insurer to ensure that in the event of a claim, they would have a limited ability to charge a coinsurance penalty.

Loss control inspections provided by the insurer are also a great way to identify any potential hazards that may lead to a claim.”

Bouck also pointed out that, “Loss control inspections provided by the insurer are also a great way to identify any potential hazards that may lead to a claim.” One other thing she asked producers to consider: What plans do you have in place to get your business up and running after a loss?

She said there are many areas to consider when it comes to farm insurance and that having strategic partners and a plan are the best way to effectively manage your business.

Van Lagen said the school and community are synonymous.

“It’s one in the same.” With that in mind they created their own unique vision for an agricultural academy. The programs and projects have grown by leaps and bounds since its inception only a few short years ago.

His presentation was entertaining and enlightening which drew a crowd of around 60 people, including school division representatives as well as elected officials from Minburn County and the Village of Innisfree.

He came at the invitation of Delnorte School’s Sustainability Committee whose members are searching for ideas and ways to keep the school not only viable, but to make it thrive and grow for generations to come.

This is where Van Lagen comes in. He has taken a rural school, “in the middle of nowhere” and helped transform it into a unique place of learning which has

includes providing financial assistance to other community groups, in particular youth programs. I also help out with the local Heather Curling Club in holding a Wednesday afternoon fun league during the winter months,” George explained.

“I decided to volunteer because when we moved to Vegreville many years ago and having no past connections to the community; it was a good way to get involved with the community events and meet people. The Elks Club was looking for new members when we moved here and being a curler, the local curling club along with the Elks seemed like a good place to start volunteer work.

“I like volunteering as it’s a great way to learn and stay informed on what is happening in the community and to meet other volunteers. Once you get involved it is much easier to stay involved.

“The best parts of volunteering are I am retired so it does give me an opportunity to use past employment and volunteering skills to help out in a small way.

“As far as the challenges go, there is sometime the lack of coordinating other volunteers to help out in activities.

“I would recommend for others to volunteer as it’s easy and you only commit yourself to as much time as you feel comfortable with. Even a few hours a month or year can make a difference. Whatever your interests and skills are you You’re at home here. can likely find a service club or volunteer activity VEGREVILLE & DISTRICT CO-OP that you can help out 780-632-2884 with,” George explained.

Mey Andreas has served as the Secretary for Canadian Royal Purple Lodge No. 125 in Vegreville since 2018.

When asked what made her decide to volunteer, Mey replied, “I volunteer because growing up in my home country, Philippines, seeing my mother extending some assistance to needy folks and supporting my midwife cousin to perform her duty in the villages inculcated into my system a sense of passion for volunteerism and giving back to the community.

therapy and a learning process as well. Having to collaborate with the ladies for this cause and the various personalities of our clientele helped me improve my teamwork and leadership skills. This is a good check and balance for our mental and physical health as one gets to communicate and share stories with others. The social aspect of this endeavour has a profound impact on my personal life. I find great joy and purpose in sharing my time and talents with the community.

The best part of volunteering is it helps me improve my self-confidence, and it gives me a healthy boost of self-esteem, as it helps me to be physically active and mentally fit.

The challenges are volunteers play a crucial role in any non-profit organization. Without them, the organizations would be hard-pressed to make an impact for a worthy cause. Getting people on board and managing these volunteers can also be a challenge.

I would definitely recommend for people to volunteer because it is not rare to see people be of assistance to others; it is embedded in our human nature to be nurturing, the helping part would just come out naturally. Being involved and connected to an organization with like minded people who share with you the same value and visions will become your support system, making volunteerism, not a chore but a calling,” Mey said.

Commission (CRTC) set a universal service objective (USO) to ensure access speeds of at least 50 Mb/sec download and 10 MB/s upload.

“Last year we conducted a study, (Discovery Document) which confirmed that the majority of County residents and businesses are underserved by current internet services, with the rural areas of the County not meeting CRTC’s basis standards for broadband internet.

The Canadian and Provincial governments are now making a push to facilitate high speed internet to underserved parts of the country. Grants are now available for municipalities to expand internet service in their areas and County Council wishes to capitalize on these grant opportunities.”

Gegolick explained that, “The County of Minburn has partnered with the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) to get a more detailed understanding of internet speeds through the County region. Although we don’t have a specific timeline for testing, we encourage businesses and landowners to test their internet speeds on different days and at different times of the day in order to provide us with accurate data.

The more data we have, the better chance we have to support grant applications for improved internet coverage throughout the County of Minburn. Rest assured the data from the speed test is 100% confidential.”

Gegolick is excited about the broadband project. “There is a long road ahead to connect our communities and industrial areas to reliable high-speed internet, but this broadband strategy is a positive step towards determining the path forward for making high speed internet available to all ratepayers and businesses.”

Innisfree is this building. Without this building there’s no future for Innisfree, no matter how you look at it. Schools do follow the communities that lose their schools. The community eventually goes.

So, if you want to do something special in this community, if you’re proud of the community, it starts here…If come together and create unique vision as a school community, people will want to be here, the kids will want to be here, the school grows and it’s sustainable and vibrant.

Tiffany Tomlinson, Acting Principal of Delnorte School, said with a strong agricultural base she can see the potential of fostering growth in that area as well as other areas of learning. “Traveling to Altario to attend the recent grand opening of its retail store and touring the school with students and seeing their excitement, energy and passion was truly inspiring.

Tomlinson said seeing what they’ve been able to achieve and how they’ve achieved it is absolutely doable. And if they can do it there, it can be done anywhere, including Innisfree.”

Sustainability Committee member Bobbi Bouchier also attended the event at Altario School and found the experience to be inspirational and insightful. She hopes they will be able to build on that.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, Two weeks ago I bought a massage chair with a heater and massager built into it. It's the kind you usually see on demo at the mall. However, I picked it up from the classifieds for only $400. That's a steal since it sells for almost $3,000 new. I know because the person I bought it from had the original receipt and paperwork. I was so excited, I put it right in front of our big screen TV. The problem is my rambunctious son broke the massage mechanism within the first month. Now it only massages on the right side. While reading through the paperwork, I discovered that the previous owner bought an extended warranty that may offer a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism.

Does that mean I can get the company to fix the part under warranty or am I out of luck because I bought the chair used?

Cash: With a rambunctious son

around the house, you could probably use a good massage. Although with your dilemma, it looks like you'll only be half relaxed.

Carry: It's always a good idea to

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 04/17/22 ©The Classified Guys®

get the original paperwork or receipts when you buy anything in the classifieds. In your case, it not only told you the original price, but it also offered valuable information about the manufacturer and warranty.

Cash: The first thing you should do is read the warranty very carefully and determine if the coverage applies to your case. Many warranties limit their coverage to manufacturer defects and won't cover problems resulting from consumer abuse. However, some extended warranties may offer additional coverage with fewer limits.

Carry: It pays to read carefully.

After all, you don't want to ship the product back only to find out

the repair isn't covered.

Cash: If you do think the warranty applies, contact the manufacturer and try to transfer the coverage into your name. Many manufacturers allow warranties to be transferred, however it is important to file that paperwork before you attempt to have it repaired.

Carry: If you find the damage isn't covered under warranty, you can still contact the manufacturer to find a local dealer who can service the product. Since you bought the chair at such a great price, it may be worth the cost to have it repaired.

Cash: Otherwise you'll have to sit in it upside down to massage your left side.

Fast Facts Extended Warranties

Reader Humor Stressing Out

Do you buy extended warranties on new products? If so, you're not alone. According to Consumer Reports, shoppers to spend over $1.6 billion on extended warranties . However according to their research, extended warranties are rarely worth the cost. Most electronics and appliances today are very reliable which makes those unused warranties very profitable for retailers and manufacturers.

Most consumers also admit to wanting a newer model with updated features when their product finally breaks.

Working at a weekly magazine makes my office very fast paced.

Most newly hired employees go crazy trying to keep up with the multiple projects and deadlines.

That's exactly what happened to my new assistant. When I walked into the office one afternoon, I found her struggling to answer the phones while printing reports and swimming through a sea of papers on her desk.

Noticing she was near a breakdown, I went over to calm her down.

"The only way to do this," I said, "is to concentrate on one task at a time." After a few deep breathes I continued, "Now what are you going to do first?"

Surprisingly she replied, "I'm going to lunch!"

Pressure Cooker Whether it's from commuting, deadlines, or long hours, many jobs bring about a lot of stress. More and more workers suffer from physical problems like high blood pressure, headaches, achy muscles, and loss of sleep because of the stress experienced in their work environment. A recent report by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, found that 40% of workers report their job to be "very" or "extremely" stressful.

Nearly 550 million working days are lost annually from stress related absenteeism.

Andrew/ Willingdon/St. Michael Rural Crime Watch Association Holds AGM Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Andrew/Willingdon/St. Michael Rural Crime Watch Association held its annual general meeting on April 13 at the Andrew Lions Den. The original intent of the Rural Crime Watch program was to provide the extra “eyes and ears” for the RCMP. While that is still the case, the focus has shifted somewhat, with more emphasis on promoting crime prevention through awareness, education and encouraging reporting of suspicious activity when observed.

In recent years, social media has played a role in that.

Colby Nemirsky started a Facebook page for the group several years ago and membership has grown to 1,300.

As Association President Tom Adamyk said, “We’re not going to stop crime, but we’re going to do our best to slow it down.”

Director David Diduck, who is also the Reeve of Lamont County, stressed the importance visibility and the effectiveness of patrols. The municipality does have its own Community Peace Officer. Cpl. Derek Wright was on hand for the meeting, and said Lamont County is not immune to theft and told members that an individual stole fuel and personal items out of work truck that was unlocked at the St. Michael shop during the lunch hour when the employee was not in the building.

Wright said there had been a number of vehicles parked in driveways as well as drive bys reported. “If you don’t recognize the vehicle phone it in.” He also reported that he’d been involved with four stolen vehicle

Beaver County Council Donates $5,000 for Humanitarian Aid in Ukraine

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Beaver County council answered the call for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, hand delivering a $5,000 cheque to members of Lamont County council on April 12.

Beaver County Reeve Kevin Smook said they were happy to make the donation on behalf of the citizens of Beaver County after council passed the motion to donate monies on March 17.

The funds will go to the CanadaUkraine Foundation, (CUF). On April 9, CUF stated that, thanks to the generosity of individuals, organizations and businesses, the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal is pleased to announce that $30 million in donations have been pledged across Canada. This includes more than 55,000 donations from large

corporations, community fundraising events and individual donors.

“With almost $10M in aid delivered and committed, we know that the scale of Russia’s violent war on Ukraine will mean the need to support Ukraine for many months and years,” said Orest Sklierenko, President of the Canada Ukraine Foundation. “The Ukrainian Canadian community will be there to provide support and deliver much-needed aid to help with the largest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War 2.”

The Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal has also delivered aid to Ukrainian displaced persons in Romania and Moldova. CUF is working with more than a dozen organizations and projects to help alleviate the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe since WWII.

Rural Crime Watch AGM - CONTINUED from PAGE 14 recoveries since December in the St. MichaelAndrew area.

Diduck said the county is served by three RCMP detachments. They include: Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville and Two Hills RCMP. In terms of policing costs, Diduck said the Province charges every municipality for policing. How much money each municipality pays is based on population and municipal assessment.

Community Peace Officer. Cpl. Derek Wright .

(Michelle Pinon/Photo)

“In 2021 our policing costs was $120,000. And I believe for 2022 they’ll be going up to $160,000. So, essentially in the last two years we’re going to be paying a little more over a quarter million dollars, and there really is no increase in police service from what we can observe.

You’re putting this money out, but there really is no material bang for your buck, so to speak. As council we have an issue with that. Are the detachments hiring more people but not dispensing them to Lamont County or secretarial help or what are they doing with this money? Or is it just going into general coffers of the Province and being spent in other places?

Sgt. Robert Daisley was not able to attend the meeting in person, but stated in a follow up interview that, “Property crime is down 25 to 30 percent over the last year and has returned to a similar level as five years ago. We continue to target prolific offenders and to try to do thorough investigations in each case.

We appreciate the support that we receive from the community. We work hard to maintain the trust of the community and rely on assistance from members of the public. Without people willing to provide statements, make complaints, etc., we would be solving much less crime than we are.”

He pointed out that, “We are doing consultations for the year ahead and welcome any feedback about what the public feels we should be focussed on in the year ahead. Anyone policed by the Two Hills RCMP

is welcome to provide feedback directly to me.”

Sgt. Daisley is accepting input until April 25, and said that information will be incorporated into the detachment’s policing plan over the next 12 months.

He put these skills to use as a business owner as well as in the oil patch where he worked as a shop foreman. Denis spent many years setting up and maintaining oil field camps before eventually retiring as a field supervisor. Denis is survived by his loving wife Wendy Theriault (nee Daskewech), sons Denny, Shawn, and Tyrell (Krystal), brothers Paul (Marie), Phillip, Real, Gerard, and Bernard (Maureen), and sister Linda Cooke, brothersin-law Frank Daskewech and Ken Daskewech, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and their families. He is pre-deceased by his parents René and Theresa Theriault, brothers Albert and Victor, nephews Stephen and Matthew, and niece Stephanie Olson. Denis’s sense of humour, willingness to help anyone, and his eternal love for his family and friends will forever leave a huge hole in our hearts. A Celebration of Life in honour of Denis will be held on April 23, 2022, at the Polish Hall, 10960 104 St., NW, Edmonton, AB, at 1:30 pm.

KUHN, Max Peter Dad, Gido April 25, 1935 - April 21, 1999 Time may heal the broken heart, Time may make the world less sore, But time can never stop the longing For the loved one gone before.

I think of him in silence, His name I oft recall, There is nothing left to answer.

But his picture on the wall.

His weary hours and days of pain His troubled nights are past; In our aching hearts we know He has found sweet rest at last.

You’re not forgotten, Father, dear Nor ever shall you be.

As long as life and memory last I shall remember thee.

Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear, Fond memories linger every day Remembrance keeps him near.

Those who we loved go out of sight, But never out of mind; They are cherished in the hearts Of those they leave behind.

His dear bright eyes and cheerful face Are pleasant to recall; He had a loving word for each And died beloved by all.

Remembering you with love, Crystal Kuhn, Brayden Zabrick & Kuhn family

Youth Programs Available at Vegreville Centennial Library Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Vegreville Centennial Library (VCL) now has a variety of programs for teens.

Library Programmer Jen Quinn said they offer a place for youths to hang out with self-serve activities such as journaling, games, drawing and more. “We also have plans to host a guided activity once a month like candle making, local artist lessons, cooking lessons and so on. Our gym is open for drop-in activities.”

VCL also offers a Teen Space Program.

Quinn, along with Library Assistant Samantha White, and a volunteer Lundyn Wyllie showed the teens how to make candles on March 11. As well, there were other crafts and projects at the different activity stations.

A teen participant, Layne Lowes said she enjoys participating in this program because it is free and you get to learn

stuff. “It is just really cool,” she admitted.

Quinn added that, “We feel it is important to have these programs for teens as it is always nice to have a variety of activities for local youth.

Teens gain an abundance of things from these programs.

They may learn valuable life hacks or fabulous artistic

skills. Sometimes, they will just find a place to hang out and meet up with friends.

Really, it’s up to them what they want to get out of it.”

As for online programs for teens, Quinn replied, “We find teens have been doing online activities a lot over the last two years so we will try to keep it in person as much as possible.”

Community Association for Lasting Success (CALS) presented its first spring session of 123 Cook with Me on April 11 at Senior Citizens Sunshine Club of Vegreville.

CALS Family Literacy Facilitator Jennifer Dixon said there were six families and eight children who attended this session.

“We begin this program with songs and stories and then families move into learning centres which focus on literacy, numeracy and fine motor skills. Following the learning centres we move into our cooking portion.

In this program we make cookie dough and the participants bake the cookies at home. Each family receives a box of ingredients along with their own mixing bowl and measuring cups and spoons. This allows both children and caregivers to enhance their numeracy skills, literacy skills and baking skills.”

Vegreville Regional Historical Society Inaugural Meeting Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent The Vegreville Regional Historical Society (VRHS) is seeking members to officially form the VRHS to carry-on and expand the work of the former Museum Society that formally disbanded in 2021 when the Town assumed responsibility of the Vegreville Museum.

Several topics were discussed at the inaugural meeting that was held in the Vegreville Town Council Chambers on March 24. Seven people attended in person and 20 people viewed through virtual means.

Town of Vegreville Community Services Director Phil Rowe chaired the meeting along with VRHS Chair David Berry. VRHS Secretary Lesley Kucherawy was present, but Treasurer Meghan Saskiw was not in attendance.

While the bylaws have been finalized, it is not a registered society. In order to do that, they will need to have a Vice-Chair, Gaming or Fundraising Director and Team Directors.

Berry said, the Mission is to provide opportunities for the citizens of Vegreville and surrounding area to participate in activities that educate as well as promote, document, and preserve the history of the region. “The Vision Statement we came

up with for the VRHS is to provide opportunities to engage and share our collective history.”

Rowe said, “We did a lot of brainstorming and came up with four teams of people we will form where we can utilize people’s talents the best. We came up with Social Media/Website Management, Education/Information/Tours, Museum Operations, and Equipment/Artifact Restoration.”

Berry added that what is really good about this VRHS is that the Town of Vegreville will be looking after all the operations of the museum. “Individuals can participate at looking at the culture and history of the community, but they can do the fun things, they can work at what they are interested in. There are just so many things that people can be involved in.

I am very excited over the months in the future here to get this up and running and to see the membership grow. It can be members who are actively involved in the committee or it can be members that just enjoy being part of it, contributing now and then. So, it is not like we are asking everyone to be on the board and meet up once a month. There are many aspects where when someone has the time, this can be part of their hobby.”

Rotary Club of Vegreville Receives Skatepark Donation

How to Choose a Front Door If you want to improve the curb appeal of your home, consider replacing your front door. Here are four things to consider when choosing one.

1. Material The material you choose for your front door will impact its strength and style.

Wood doors are timeless, but they require regular maintenance. Steel doors are durable and affordable, while fibreglass doors are sturdy, energy-efficient and available in many colours. Make sure you research the pros and cons of each material before making your choice.

2. Glazing Glazed doors add a touch of elegance and allow natural light into your home.

However, keep in mind that all-glass doors and those with large glass inserts must be made of reinforced glass to remain secure.

3. Insulation If you live in a cold climate, it’s important to make sure the door you choose has good insulation. Additionally, a wellinsulated door can help block out street noise. Look for an Energy Star certified model to ensure you choose a high-quality product.

4. Personalization You can customize your front door with unique hard¬ware and accessories like mouldings, inlays, hand¬les and locks.

You may even be able to personalize the glazing pattern.

To find a door that suits your style and budget, visit your local home improvement stores.

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Rotary Club of Vegreville’s skatepark project got a financial boost from one local business recently.

The Brick store in Vegreville donated $2,000 towards the project and presented the cheque to Rotarians Rick Rutter and Patti Johnston on March 23.

Store Manager Angela Garreck said the Brick is “happy to be involved in the community” and contributing towards the project. “The more activities we have for youth in the community the better. It is a great way of building relationships,” added Garreck.

“The Rotary Club of Vegreville would like to thank The Brick for their support towards our Skatepark project. We are truly thankful for all the community support we have received towards this project,” stated Johnston.

The Rotary Club is planning to host its annual Lobsterfest in June and Johnston said proceeds from that will also go towards the project.

need for energy for our European allies is valid. If Canada had the pipelines and ports in place to get more of our oil and gas to tidewater, we would have been able to reduce their dependency on an unreliable supply of Russian energy.

And if Western Canada is a little far from Europe, we could be delivering more energy to the United States, freeing them to export more across the Atlantic.

Another minor issue is that the Bay du Nord project won’t produce oil until around 2030. One certainly hopes that issues around energy use, Russia

and Ukraine will be settled by then.

And haven’t we been told that by 2030 we will have made giant strides in weaning ourselves off carbonbased energy and not be in the market for more?

Can Western Canadians be forgiven for thinking they will have to bear all the economic costs of dealing with climate change while those in Eastern Canada see their economy benefit from potentially polluting activities?
